i got impatient looking for a leather paddle holster that's just like what i want. everyone is out of stock and has them on back order. i ended up getting a fobus holster from gandermountain and im actually pleased with it. the model number is the SP11B for compact guns.
it appears that fobus has updated their holsters from a few years ago when i first purchased one. this one has some red colored xtra cushion that's on the paddle, a deeper paddle split, a tad bit sleeker, and also seems a bit more sturdy as well.
i am able to push the mag. release button while holstered, so topping off is pretty easy. this takes a little gettin used to because the PT145 has a left side only mag release button. i may actually to do the switch and make it a right side mag release. has anyone done it successfully with this gun yet?
i only have one minor complaint, which is that you cant rub you finger accross the LCI on the PT145 to see if your "hot" while the gun is on your hip ???. with my XD i can do that with all my holsters and its a nice feature to be able to check your status without drawing your weapon. it kinda makes having the LCI useless for the way that im used to using it.
all in all, im pretty please with it...and its not as ugly a hoster as i would think. but i still want a leather one too...
